This means that someone high up in Exxon is a Neogaf user right?

Cause...yeah.

Hilarious.

Or more likely, the lawyer in question google searched for people getting the two logos confused and found the gaf thread. Thought it's always possible that the lawyer does know of gaf. You never know.



But yeah, this sort of stuff happens all the time in trademarks cases and applications. Gotta prove that confusion and intent to use!

lol, that's pretty cool. Would be funnier if they had included the bit of his post about it being an awful logo too.

P: Objection, your honor, hateradio's character is not at question here; it's irrelevant.

D: Your honor, hateradio's status as a troll is relevant, because it shows that he spends all day on the internet, and therefore does not drive a car. He is not a consumer of Exxon gasoline, and cannot be representative of a confused consumer base. His representation of the consumer base is further fallacious, because his status as a Sonic furry makes him weird.

P: Your honor, this is all character evidence, and cannot be admitted.

D: No, your honor, because hateradio has a reputation for these traits, they can be admitted. As evidence that he's gained a reputation as a troll and a Sonic furry, I submit Plaintiff's Exhibit 26, where NeoGAF.com user "Stinkles" addresses the court directly, and says, "Your honor, hateradio is a known troll and a Sonic furry."

Your Honor, I motion to completely dismiss this evidence, on the grounds that hateradio and GungHo received recompense for these comments in the form of shiny new tags.

Yeah, more likely.

But less funny.

Sorry ExxonMobil, but there's no F in Exxon and no "F in" way one would confuse a TV channel for an oil company.

I bill $200/hr for my legal consultations and I spent 16 hours thinking up that lame pun. You may send the invoice by PM, thank you.

You know, I used to be against those posts that say " I was thinking that", or "I agree with this", or to an extreme, "this!!!", as they don't really add to the conversation.

Clearly I should shut the hell up.

"A wise point, Your Honor, if you don't read the fine print! As seen here on post #399, user '[6969] xXxDongoloidxCripxSnypexKillazxXx' posts an animated .gif stemming from '4gifs.org' of ex-porn star Stoya, legal name Veronica Billingsley, expressing surprise and pleased awe - as part of an internet-based macromedia trend known as a 'reaction gif.' But what's this? Encased in concealed spoiler tags beneath, aforementioned user 'Dongoloid' replies, and I quote, 'legal proceedings applying meticulous use of intranet proceedings are fallible in nature by the foundation of said cultural discourse, as is dis dick, nigga!' The defense rests."
